Life is not possible in space
By using this fact as an introduction to his latest film, director Alfonso Cuaron prepares us for a breathtaking and eye-popping journey about life, change and coping. There has been much anticipation for Gravity, focusing primarily on the film's visuals and cinematography. While I do not want to belittle these aspects and will get to them later on, I can tell you now that the film is much more than just eye-candy. And even with some very obvious weaknesses and shortcomings, Gravity is still a film worthy of the hype and attention.
In a jist and at first, Gravity seems nothing more than a really pretty movie about a disaster in space; while on a mission to repair the Hubble Telescope, the space team led by Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), which includes Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) suddenly find themselves in huge trouble when debris from nearby satellite destruction come crashing towards them killing everyone else and destroying their spaceship. Now they must work together to get safely back to Earth.
